--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hatch:
| WHAT: |
Hatch®, a leading provider of technology for early learning, will present: Bridging the Digital Divide with Early Intervention, as part of the Technology Solutions Seminar at the Florida Education Technology Conference (FETC) exploring how technologists, educators and administrators use technology to solve specific problems in K-12 environments. Hatch’s seminar will be one of four offered during the FETC event. The three additional presenters include Cisco, Google and Lenovo.
|
|||
| Hatch experts will conduct this interactive workshop, featuring detailed solution demonstrations, to explore how early intervention with research-based instructional technology can positively affect student outcomes throughout school and beyond. | ||||
| WHY: | More than 50 percent of children from households with annual incomes of less than $30,000 do not have home access to technological resources compared with only nine percent of their affluent peers. This is one more element compounding the achievement gap in the U.S. today. At the same time, research-based education technology solutions exist that have been proven effective in increasing math and literacy outcomes during the foundational years. Early intervention in a school environment with proven-effective education technology tools can conquer the divide and close the gap for young students. | |||
